Location: Siwa Oasis


This hidden-away, primitive and yet still luxurious boutique hotel is an ecolodge out in the remote Siwa Oasis, with earth buildings that blend into the landscape. There’s no electricity, so Adrère Amellal comes alive at night with candles and lanterns.


This is the place to go if you want to totally disconnect from it all and feel at one with nature -- all elements of this hotel are made from local and natural materials, including the actual buildings themselves.

We’d like to add Houseboat65 to the list! I don’t think we would have enjoyed Cairo so much if it wasn’t for this place. It’s so central - a quick Uber to all the exciting markets and photogenic sites, but also remote enough that you can sleep soundly without too many traffic horns and city chaos waking you up. The bathtub gets HOT and the water pressure is strong. The sunrise views of rowing teams in the morning were perfect for sipping coffee before visiting the pyramids. The hosts were perfectly accommodating and the porter was very friendly. Wouldn’t change a thing! you can find it on houseboat65.com
